Hotel rooms along Sixth Street…
By Mark Reaman
Final approval for the proposed Crested Butte Hotel was obtained Tuesday, August 29 from the Crested Butte Board of Zoning and Architectural Review (BOZAR). The hotel proposal under the Sixth Street Station development has been in the BOZAR pipeline for more than a year. The application for the hotel was first submitted in August of 2016.
The development essentially will include two large hotel buildings, some above and below ground parking and five rental cottages that basically stretch along Sixth Street from the lots just north of the Gothic softball field to the end of town across from the Gas Café. The hotel building will be 27,771 square feet while the annex building will come in at 26,653 square feet.
The project is a condo-hotel development so there will be a total of 33 condominium units that can be sold. The condos are configured so that they can have lock-offs and thus there will be 67 total “keys” or rentable hotel room-type units. There are also three affordable housing units in the hotel meant for employee housing.
Some drainage and engineering details need to be cleared up before the developers can pull a building permit for the project. An agreement concerning the McCormick Ditch realignment must also be completed. Various other easements and agreements relating to snow storage/removal and encroachments into the rights of way also need to be executed.
Officials said hotel construction could begin in the spring of 2018.
